AN OPINION.
Among the pertinent remarks of the great evangelist from
Missouri we find fliis: "If you throw a stone at a pack of
hounds and one of them yells and otherwise acts strangely
you may count upon that dog as the one struck by the stone."
Although we arc no longer among those upon whom is forced ,
the year's work in Military Science, but have timely passed
that dangerous period, we can nevertheless from our safe dis
tance sec the antics cut by our less fortunate successors as,
with look of calm indignation, they come within range.
Thus we are emboldened to undertake the duty of empha
sizing, of re-voicing the faint echoes which come over to us
from those with whom we sympathize and wish it were within
our power to grant relief. No one would make so bold as to
prescribe for all the members of a class a ycar,s work in a
single branch, unless the resultant good gave promise of be
ing an adequate recompense for the work of every member of
tlist class. With the present excellent instructor in that de
partment, the work in Military Science will scarce fail of
good results, both in point of training and in amount of infor
mation couccrning military operations and regulations. Some
few arc taking the course for the knowledge to be gained, and
for those we could conceive of no better opportunity. The
number of those specially interested in this work, however,
is as one to twelve of those required to complete the course.
But the eleven other members required to do this work have
each his preference, as does the one inclined to military mat
ters, and it is unjust' to speak mildly to compel. them to do
work for which none claim either a general interest or an ad
equate recompense. We would not be misunderstood. We
appreciate the ability ol the instructor and the value of the
instruction offered, but we would have such instruction rele- '
gated to its proper place the elective department. We wish,
moreover, that we might find for those in authority some plau
sible reason for asking of students this special effort, but can
sec no sufficient justification unless the act endowing the in
dustrial school be interpreted in such a manner as to require
this course. The letter of that article can certainly be taken
to read otherwise, and we sincerely doubt if the spirit of it
calls for the regime now set up. Indeed, we question if those
who framed that act ever dreamed that such construction
could be put upon it as would seem necessary to sustain the
demands of the present course. Granting, however, that we
act in good faith and wish to carry out to the best of our abil
ity the spirit of that article, we are curious to know if there
are not other rules and regulations the spirit of which we do
not thoroughly appreciate. We have a dim recollection of
some provision suggested (?) whereby, the books to be used
in the different courses for a term having been selected, the
authorities are to furnish them to studeuts at cost. We might
recall yet other rules or regulations which are favorable to
the student body, but we do not purpose to arrouse animosi
ties, nor to locate irregularities, hence we refrain. We are
pained to note a feeling, not akin to resignation, among those
sopn to become eligible to this course of study. Let us,
therefore, think of this matter in a fair and friendly way,and
we may hope to arrive at some more just arrangement.
